Unit 6 - Expressions and Number Properties Lesson 1 - Exponents Learning Goals for this Lesson: Students Will Know: Understand how to write and evaluate numerical expressions involving wholenumber exponents. Standards: MAFS.6.EE.1.1, LAFS.6.SL.1.2, MAFS.K12.MP.4.1, MAFS.K12.MP.6.1 Students Will Be Able To: Identify the exponent and base of a power. Write a power as product of the same factor (base). Find the value of a power. Write an expression using whole-number exponents. Describe a power that represents a perfect square. Describe the pattern in using powers of ten. Understand that exponential form is a short way to write repeated multiplication of a common factor. Lesson Essential Question: How do you use exponents to represent numbers? Activating Strategy: Play BrainPop Video on "Exponents" and have students take the BrainPop Quiz as a class (repeat at the end of the lesson to beat original score) Play a couple of quick rounds of 'Math Splat" on the overhead have students compete in teams. Alternate Opener Activity: Think and Discuss Questions: What are some examples of situations in which you need to use repeated addition of whole numbers to solve a problem? What are some examples of situations in which you need to use repeated addition of fractions to solve a problem? Key Vocabulary to Preview and Vocabulary Strategy: power, base, exponent, perfect square Lesson Instruction: Learning Activity 1: Begin lesson by having student partners complete the Inquiry lab on McGraw-Hill Textbook pages 429-432. Review the answers as a class. Have students begin Cornell Notes on Exponents. Have students Think-Pair –Share the Vocabulary Start-Up section for this lesson on Textbook page 433. Then have students record the Graphic Organizers: Cornell notes K-W-L (Know- Want to know-Learned) Graphic Organizer to explore student’s prior knowledge of the concept of vocabulary words into their Cornell Notes. Continue Cornell Notes on Exponents. Use Example 2 (Common Core OnCore Mathematics Student Workbook page 60). Have students take notes on how to use exponents to write an expression. Assessment Prompt for LA 1: exponents. Frayer Model Graphic Organizer for Vocabulary: Have students complete a frayer model graphic organizer for each vocabulary word. CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING: Have students complete the "Try This" questions on page 60 of Common Core OnCore Mathematics Student Workbook on the processing page of their Cornell Notes. Have student pairs check each other’s work. Allow time for student pairs to discuss any questions they have about their partner’s answers and time for partners to justify their answers or revise as needed. Review the answer together, with students presenting their work to the class. Ask any students willing to describe a mistake they made and how they fixed it. Note: In order to provide a safe place to share say, “If you made a mistake, it is likely someone else made the same mistake and needs your explanation in order to know how to fix it…” CHECK FOR UNDERSTANDING: Have students complete a Quick Write on the Processing Page of their Cornell Notes defining the related vocabulary and describing how to find the value of a power. Have students share their Quick Write with their partner and revise if necessary. Have several students present their writing to the class (LFS think-pair-share).

Note: In order to provide a safe place to share say, “If you made a mistake, it is likely someone else made the same mistake and needs your explanation in order to know how to fix it…” Have students revisit their Cornell Notes, Underlining or circling vocabulary terms or important facts with a different colored pencil and make definitions stand out by highlighting them. Students may highlight or underline other important information. Have students compare notes with a partner and make any corrections or additions to their notes that are needed. Have students revisit their Cornell Notes and write down questions in the left hand column beside each example or vocabulary term that will help them remember the material, or create questions of confusion that they have about the information in their notes. Have students create higher level questions that are not answered in the Constructing Support: (Common Core OnCore Mathematics Activity Generator): Students are given a data table to analyze and posed the scenario: Maria won the grand prize on a game show. She will be given $2 the first month, $4 the second month, $8 the third month, and so on as her payment is doubled each month for one year. Students are to complete the table and answer the following questions: How much will Maria receive in the fifth month? How much will Maria receive in the eighth month? Use a calculator to determine how much Maria will receive in the last month of the year. Have students describe the pattern in the table and explain how the values in the table compare with the values 2, 22, 23, 24, and so on. Unit culminating activity see Resources on icpalms map or Unit Plan for rubric and assignment notes, like "Why did...?" or "Predict what would happen if...?", these can deepen the learning of the material. Have students revisit their Cornell Notes and create possible test questions. Share these student created test questions with the class describing how the problem may be solved, but without giving the answer. Use at least one to two student created test question on the next mini-assessment or summative quiz. Assessment Prompt for LA 2: Have students complete the "Try This" activity on page 59 of Common Core OnCore Mathematics Students Workbook. Students are asked to circle the exponent and box the base of each example. Have student complete the Exponent Worksheet from the Common Core Oncore Mathematics student workbook page 62. Then have students complete an Error Analysis: Have students silently (no talking with partner at this time) compare answers on their completed Exponent Practice Worksheet with their partners answers. Students are to only put a mark by the answers that they have different from their partners. Next, students are allowed to discuss with their partners the problems where they had different answers. Students are to justify their answer by reworking the problem for their partners. Partners are to describe where they or their partner made an error and then correct the problem together.

Summarizing Strategy: Have student take the BrainPop quiz on Exponents: https://www.brainpop.com/math/ Using the Write Path I Mathematics AVID strategy of "Sentence Frames" as a class create a sentence using several of the vocabulary words posted on the classroom Student Learning Map. The sentence is stated and then the students repeat it over and over in a chant. Next, allow individual students to make up a another way to rephrase the sentence using the same vocabulary words; if the class agrees the sentence is a correct usage of the vocabulary words they signal with a thumbs up and repeat the sentence or a thumbs down and help to rephrase the sentence correctly and repeat. Example: "7 to the power of 3 means the product of three 7's". Have student complete the Summary Section of their Cornell Notes answering the LEQ: How do you use exponents to represent numbers?
